    Among the Best Episodes I Have Ever Seen Of Any Show

    It's rare that a show can keep me totally engrossed for an hour, have me experiencing the love and divinity of ancient rites and rituals, and move me to the core by an act of love and courage. This episode did all of that.

    I forgive any flaws this series may have had until now. This made the journey of the last few episodes meaningful and worth it.

    There isn't anything for me to complain about this episode. The settings and angles were stunning, the dialogue was interesting, the pacing perfect. If you are one of the people who has been struggling through the last few darker episodes and wondering whether to keep going... please don't miss this one.

    Conflicted Bliss

    This episode is deep. Philosophically, psychologically, emotionally. No spoilers here.... But the depth of commitment and conviction from the characters and of course the actors, this episode hits deep. Cosmo Jarvis and Anna Sawai are pure fire on screen together. Their chemistry and connection are cosmic. This episode had the power to make you literally hate certain characters. At the same exact time you will be emotionally drawn to other characters and feel deep anguishing pain. Whoever wrote this episode clearly wanted the viewers to sigh, gasp, and have silent tears. And I am a male. I am beyond disappointed that this series is only one season.

    Mindblowing,jaw dropping,heartbreak

    Im speechless to be fair..This show is what was missing from the lives of everyone who love the high art of cinema. And this episode is the epitome of perfection.. I don't even think we need to dwell on the direction.. We have already knew that technically we are watching a top tier series..However, this particular episode has performances that you could see winning an Emmy award..Anna Sawai in perhaps the best performance of her life..There are few actors whose character you can understand just by looking at their face .. On Anna's face you can see all the pain, the sadness, the hardships that Mariko has suffered in her life.. It's a shame that the series ends next week, TV NEEDS shows like Shogun cause they just make the big screen more beautiful than it is

    Cinematography 10/10 Screenplay 10/10 The whole show is a masterpiece Acting 100/10 Anna Sawai should be an Emmy candidate just for this episode.

    this masterpiece reached something deep my soul

    All that emotions reaching deep guts All that integrity and pride of family All that injustice and weakness All that wisdom in the weakest moment Uff.. presenting live in it's clearest picture Friend of yesterday could be the enemy, and the person who left so early could be the one who's everything laying on him.

    Life is strange, every time we think we understood it, it's proven the opposite way Makes me wonder, am i the same person i thought i am?

    Dam you on that show, it is too good to makes me lost with myself.

    If the final as good as this, I'm going to talk about it for long time and Officially it's best tv show ever done I thought breaking bad is the best show ever, but seriously this one takes it all

    Can't wait for next final.

    WHAT AN EPISODE!

    Incredible episode, this is what the series has been building up to... I do not want this show to end!

    Incredible acting with Incredible writing truly impressed.

    I do not normally give reviews for TV shows (this is my first review on imdb, probably).

    I had to give this episode what it truly deserves: A perfect score of ten out of ten.

    I truly hope this show never ends, just give us 25 Seasons already!

    Watching this was like watching game of thrones, but in a completely different language and setting, absolutely brilliant.

    They deserve all the emmys, golden globes;; even Grammys. Brilliant, just brilliant.
